Doubling as a New York restaurant manager and producer Clive Chin began his monumental label Impact! in the ’70s – but this man, who recorded Augustus Pablo, Jackie Mittoo, Peter Tosh, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and The Wailers’ first album, had already been raised on a steady diet of the island’s music due to his pops being Vincent ‘Randy’ Chin. Chin Senior played a massive role in bringing the blues & shuffle into Jamaican music through his shortwave radio broadcast in Kingston, extending the family affair to the legendary Randy’s Record Store and their renowned Randy’s label.

With young Clive helping out at the controls from the age of 15 they were recording the soundtrack to Jamaica’s emerging independance from Britain and the birth of soundsystem culture, before moving to New York City to establish VP Records, now the biggest reggae label in the world.
